Ulrich Haarmann, 1942-1999
When I had to fulfil the sad task of writing this obituary about Ulrich Haarmann, I
recalled the following two scenes: The solemn burial service at the Littenweiler
cemetery in Freiburg was in progress, when suddenly out of nowhere, in the midst
of this very peaceful gathering, the faint utterances of a newborn were heard.
After a while, the escalating little voice of the infant grew louder and louder and
more demandingit was the sound of a baby crying out to the world. With
disapproving glances, the crowd turned their heads in an attempt to signal the
student, who had brought her child to the funeral, that she should take the disturbance
away. If Ulrich Haarmann had been there to witness this, he would have given a
sympathetic smile, which was so typical of him, and I am sure he would have
asked the mother to come to the front. After all, he had been fascinated, since his
childhood, by creation in its immeasurable variety and by life in all its unfathomable
dimensions; thus, he would have certainly enjoyed this allegorical representation
of life and death on such an occasion.
It was the mixture of self-irony, uprightness, the enchanting ease with which
he made contacts and professional appearances, his cosmopolitan tolerance, and
the ability to unite and compromise without ever losing sight of his own interests
which made people want to befriend Ulrich Haarmann. In addition to this, his
strong sense of duty and profound scholarly dedication, along with his warm
kindness, made him a highly esteemed colleague wherever he went. It is, therefore,
no surprise that first and foremost it was his personality which made him the
perfect candidate for the post of Director of the Zentrum Moderner Orient/Center
for Modern Oriental Studies (ZMO) in Berlin. In spite of his illness, he carried out
his duties as Director of the Center from 1 April 1998 to the end with enthusiasm
and earnestness. In fact, even during the last days of his life, he added corrigenda
and addenda by hand to the Center's current proposal book submitted to the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft/German Research Association (DFG) in July
1999. Incidentally, he was thrilled about working in Berlin from the very first day.
This was not only because of the fantastic atmosphere at the ZMO but also due to
the twelve months he had spent in Berlin as a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg/
Middle East Documentation Center. The University of Chicago.

Institute for Advanced Study (1995/96 and February/March 1997)a time which
he always considered as having been wonderful, important, and very productive.1
It was also within the rooms of the Wissenschaftskolleg where the second
scene I recalled took place: It was a beautiful, sunny day when I visited Ulrich
Haarmann and found him, upon my arrival, amidst a group of other fellows in one
of the residents' rooms at the institute. He was in his element: First, he spoke to a
German colleague on his right about cultural life in Berlin; then he discussed
emphatically in French with someone on his left the financial misery of German
universities before he switched to English to converse with the gentleman opposite
him about the complicated careers and activities of Mamluk descendants before
the Ottoman conquest of Egypt. Somewhat shy, I had stepped into the international
circle without Ulrich Haarmann having noticed. When he took notice of me, he
jumped up enthusiastically and introduced me in perfect Standard Arabic to a
colleague from the Comores. Later that evening, he even tried his (to my reassurance)
somewhat rusty Russian on an acquaintance from Moscow. One could really feel
the ease with which he changed from one idiom to another. Enchanted by the
phenomenon of language, he delighted himself in engaging others in his enthusiasm.
Ulrich Haarmann was born in 1942 in Swabia. After having attended the
Eberhard-Ludwig-Gymnasium in Stuttgart (classics), it was Arabic which he chose
to study at the University of Freiburg. Thereafter, he quickly attained a Fulbright
scholarship at Princeton, from which he graduated with a B.A. in Oriental Studies
on 15 June 1965. In many ways, this early stay abroad in the USA had a strong
influence on the rest of Ulrich Haarmann's life: First, he discovered a love for
Arabic grammatical theories, acquired from his examination work under Rudolf
Mach on Ibn Babashadh's Al-Muqaddimah f| al-Nahw ; second, he developed an
interest in editing Arabic texts. In a short time, he mastered this philological craft,
which for a long time was one of the most sought-after skills in a German orientalist.
Despite the demands of today's students to deal only with modern topics, he made
a continuous and conscious effort to stress that a solid philological education was
indispensable.
At Princeton, Ulrich Haarmann hardly visited the hectic city of New York
although it was only an hour away by train. He learned to value the exclusivity
and privacy of a campus university, and therefore I believe that the wonderful
location of the ZMO in Berlin fulfilled his expectations of a scientific retreat. The
years at Princeton laid the groundwork for his lifelong and heartfelt relationship
with the USA and Canada. In 1974, he spent four months as visiting professor of
Islamic History at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). After two

similar stays at McGill University in Montreal (1976 and 1986), he participated as

a fellow in a research program at the Annenberg Institute for Judaic and Near
Eastern Studies in Philadelphia (January-April 1990). In the meantime, he remained
loyal to Princeton over the years: first, as a research fellow (January-April 1987),
then as a visiting professor (March-June 1992) in the School of Historical Studies
of the Institute for Advanced Studies, where he had the opportunity to further his
scholarly activities.
Free from the bureaucratic burdens of a German professorship, during these
quiet and peaceful months he was able to finish many of his scientific projects. It
should suffice to mention the critical edition of Abu Ham id al-Quds|'s Duwal
al-Islam; some important articles about the careers of the sons of the Mamluks,
the legal opposition to Mamluk autocracy, and ethnic and racial prejudices in the
medieval Near East; and lastly his pioneering study on life and trade in Ghadames
(Libya) in the nineteenth century.
The starting point for Ulrich Haarmann's intellectual occupation with the
somewhat controversial, unique, and fascinating rule of Turkish slaves over the
native population of Egypt was his decision to leave Princeton and to return to
Freiburg to write his dissertation on Quellenstudien zur frhen Mamlukenzeit. His
supervisor then was Hans Robert Roemer, the leading figure in German Oriental
Studies after 1945.2 Roemer not only supported Ulrich Haarmann's Ph.D., but he
also took great pleasure in witnessing Haarmann's work at the Deutsches
Archologisches Institut/German Archeological Institute (DAI) in Cairo from
autumn 1969 until May 1971. Upon completing this first stay in Egypt, he was
offered an assistant professorship in Freiburg. Just one year later he would qualify
for his Habilitation in Islamic Studies on the basis of his current writings, in
particular his dissertation and his edition of the Chronik des Ibn ad-Dawadar|.
With this, he paved the road for a university career: From 1974 to 1976, he was an
assistant professor; from 1976 to 1978 an unscheduled professor; and from 1979
to 1992 a full professor at the University of Freiburg. At the same time, he
continually worked in different areas and offices within the administrative
organization of his alma mater. His last position before his post in Berlin was a
full professorship in Oriental Philology (Arabic and Islamic Studies) at the Christian-
Albrechts University in Kiel (1992 to 1998).
Considering the often difficult financial situation of today's young academics,
time and again he mentioned how thankful he was for his early job opportunities.
All the more reason for him to want to undertake everything in his power to help
promising younger scholars. Therefore, he also saw his position in Berlin as a

chance to turn the ZMO into a place for advanced research on the Orient, where
above all, postdocs would be invited as fellows. With regard to the overall conceptual
framework of the ZMO, he always emphasized the importance of partnerships and
cooperation with individuals and institutions, at regional as well as interregional
levels. Haarmann believed the ZMO should act as an (inter)national mediator,
bringing together various entities for the enhancement of Oriental Studies both
within and outside Germany. The West, in his opinion, had neither an intellectual
monopoly on research, nor on the art of mastering the future.
Contact with the Islamic world and its people was always important to Ulrich
Haarmann. He personally knew the Arab countrieswith the exception of Iraq
and the Sudanfrom long or short private trips, international congresses, and
several research and teaching programs. For instance, in Cairo he was not only
employed by the DAI, but also acted as a visiting professor at the American
University in Cairo/Center for Arabic Studies (Spring 1971), as well as a lecturer
at the University of Cairo (Spring 1977). The time he worked during the Lebanese
civil war as Director of the Orient Institute of the Deutsche Morgenlndische
Gesellschaft/German Oriental Society (DMG) in Beirut (1978-1980) was an
especially important experience for him. This task was particularly difficult for
him personally, since his wife, his six-month-old daughter and his almost three-
year-old son had to remain in Germany. The fact that he nevertheless completed
this duty, with courage, was honored by the award of a Golden Medal for Education
and Science by the Lebanese President on 15 November 1980. Finally, he kept in
close contact with Kuwait ever since his discovery of the earliest naming of this
state from the travel logs of Murtad ibn Al| ibn Alwan.
Because of Ulrich Haarmann's high reputation among his colleagues, many
honorable tasks and duties were offered to him. From about 1976 to 1992, he was
principal lecturer ("Vertrauensdozent") at the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes,
and from 1981 to 1991 he was a member of the advisory body of the Institute for
Oriental Studies at the DMG. From the winter term 1990/91 he worked as an
expert on the Entrance Exam Committee of Princeton University (Alumni School
Committee), and in 1995 the role of publishing the highly reputed Bibliotheca
Islamica was assigned to him.3 In addition to this, the DAI asked him to oversee
the publication of Quellen zur Geschichte des Islamische gyptens, and in 1992
he acted as co-editor of Brill's series Islamic History and Civilization. In 1994, the
Academia Europaea nominated him as a member and one year later he was
admitted into the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science.
For a long time, Ulrich Haarmann's wide-ranging interests focused on the
various facets of Mamluk society. He, who was also talented at writing substantial

and well considered reviews, did a lot of thorough research in this field. In
addition to the above-mentioned titles, his scholarly contributions on medieval
Muslim perceptions of Pharaonic Egypt deserve to be highlighted: He introduced
and critically edited the Pyramidenbuch des Abu afar al-Idr|s| (st. 649/1251),
and no student should miss the opportunity to read his well-written articles on this
subject. Besides the difficult subjects of the interdependencies of the Arabic language
and Muslim jurisprudence, and socio-political questions on the history of Muslim
Central AsiaI will mention only his articles about Fazl Allah ibn Ruzbihan
Khunj| (860-925/1456-1519), and on Transoxania in the sixteenth centuryUlrich
Haarmann was generally interested in the social, cultural, and intellectual history
of the medieval Near East as a whole.
One of Ulrich Haarmann's lasting merits was editing the Geschichte der
arabischen Welt. This workalready in its third editionhas become a classic
not only among German students, but also among specialists. Through this inspiring
and exemplary teamwork by German orientalists, many students are now able to
acquire a very high level of understanding and deep insight into the confusing
variety of the political and social systems in the different Arab regions.
Ulrich Haarmann had never been just a resident of the ivory tower. It was for
him a basic necessity on suitable occasionsbe it during lessons or public
appearances, in conversation with amateurs of both religions, in discussion groups
or lectures on specific topicsto emphasize the common roots of the Muslim and
Christian world views. In his opinion, mutual acceptance and tolerancewith all
of the necessary remaining unfamiliaritieswere the keywords to opening the
way to a multi-cultural society. In this regard, Berlin as a metropolis also seemed
to him to be opening up to new perspectives.
After becoming Director of the ZMO, he started looking for new scholarly
fields. With his typical curiosity, he quickly found his way into theoretical
discussions within the humanities and social sciences. As time went on, he considered
these new methodological approaches as being the core of all multi- and
interdisciplinary projects. On these grounds, he believed that the identity-producing
effect of historiography and the international "contact areas" of the Islamic world
during the modern age (the Sahara, Central Asia, the Indian Ocean) would be
interesting subjects for future projects. These undertakings were prevented, however,
like so many other plans, by his sudden death. There were a lot of good things still
to be expected from Ulrich Haarmann; instead there remains an impressive, but
somehow brutally interrupted life. The contemporary German community of
orientalists has lost a wonderful person and a very erudite scholar.
